"Queen" on her honeymoon in San Diego, California, 1953.

Queen's Inn by the River is located in a site formally known as the Cedar Lane Lodge.  Cedar Lane Lodge was built circa 1951 as a motel.  It eventually closed and the buildings were converted for use for another business known as White Oaks Guest Home.

In 1964 Nelson and Naomi Ashby  ̶  "Queen"  ̶   our beloved grandmother, whom we were NEVER allowed to call grandma, or God forbid, granny, purchased the property.  Recently, our family decided to completely renovate this beautiful property and bring it back to what it was originally intended to be, an Inn; a place where people can come and enjoy the surrounding beauty that our mountain area has to offer.

In her memory, we have established "Queen's Inn by the River."
